Background: Ovarian cortex xenotransplantation into immunodeficient rats is a follicles protection method in rare animals and investigation on folliclogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gonadotropin and erythropoietin (EPO) treatment on follicular development in the transplanted ovaries. Materials and Methods: Prepared sheep ovarian cortical strips were vitrified by c...

Background: Bone tissue engineering requires materials that are biocompatible, mechanically suited for bone function, integrated with the host skeleton, and support osteoinduction of the implanted cells for new bone formation. The aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic potential of xenograft with hydroxyapatite/β- tricalcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) scaffold. Methods: New Zealand rabbits (...

despite diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic advances, growing incidence of cancer and high rate of mortality among patients affected by specific cancer types indicate current clinical measures are not ideally useful in eradicating cancer. chemoresistance and subsequent disease relapse are believed to be mainly driven by the cell-molecular heterogeneity of human tumors that necessitates perso...
